Hotpoint dishwashers are known to be reliable and long-lasting appliances. However, when they do break down, it can be tricky to troubleshoot the problem. The error codes are not always helpful (or even understandable!) and a lot of times the fault doesn’t become apparent until the user is trying to troubleshoot a very specific issue. Maybe you need to cut off the power source because it’s leaking or won’t start up normally. That’s when you notice that the unit has been displaying an error code that was completely unrelated to your problem! This article will go over some of the most common Hotpoint dishwasher error codes, what they mean, and how you can fix them if they come up on your model.
